Very few cars inspire as much affection as the original Mini. It's the small car everyone loves to eulogise because it oozes energetic fun classless minimalism & evergreen style. But it's also of massive historical importance: the 1959 Mini designed by Alec Issigonis set the template from which all successful compact cars have been created ever after.

Here award-winning writer Giles Chapman tells the whole amazing story.
